Summary

• All Summer in a Day is about a girl named
  Margot who moves with her family from Ohio to the
  planet Venus. The major difference between Earth
  and Venus is that on Venus the sun only appears
  for one hour every seven year. For six years,
  three hundred sixty four days and twenty three
  hours it rains on Venus. The other children
  dont like Margot because they think she is
  different. She came to Venus five years ago when
  she was four, so she remembers the sun and talks
  about it. The children were two years old the
  last time the sun came out so none of them
  remember it. They think she is lying about
  remembering what it was like to see and feel the
  sun. When the day arrives for the sun to shine,
  the students lock her in a dark closet so she
  will miss the sun. The students then run outside
  to enjoy the one hour of sun and they are amazed
  by what a wonderful experience it is to be in
  sunshine. When they go back inside they feel
  terrible for locking Margot tin the closet. They
  realize they have deprived her of this
  extraordinary experience that happens once every
  seven years.
